'I just rage quit my waitressing job': Server finds out her boss was stealing her tips, quits on the spot and seeks legal action

Most people start a career as a waiter or waitress because of the money. It's no secret that servers make bank, but it's definitely not because of their minimum wage hourly rate, it's because the tipping culture in America says it's acceptable (if not encouraged) to tip 25%+ to the server on top of a restaurant receipt. So for servers who aren't making tips, why would you suffer the long hours, picky customers, and weekend enslavement? Exactly. You wouldn't. 

One woman just recently quit her job in a furious rage because of a debacle with her tips. Not only was she not earning tips (after being told they'd go straight to her paycheck), but her boss was straight up stealing her tips for themselves. She basically caught him with a hand in the tip jar! After that incident, the Internet is up in arms. Keep scrolling for the full first account of this tantalizing tale of thievery, managerial fall out, and just bad business.
